Comparison of fully quantitative and semi-quantitative measure of women's myocardial perfusion reserve for detection of microvascular coronary dysfunction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) acquired using firstpass cardiac MRI is a measure of the severity of microvascular coronary dysfunction (MCD) in subjects with signs and symptoms of ischemia but no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) [Shufelt 2011]. Semiquantitative measures (upslopes) have been used to analyze MPR data in the previous work [Shufelt 2011]. In this work, we propose using a fully quantitative myocardial blood flow (MBF) analysis to evaluate whether MPR is different between subjects with MCD and normal controls.

High-resolution quantitative spiral perfusion for microvascular coronary dysfunction detection
Background Quantitative first-pass CMR can assess the severity of microvascular coronary dysfunction(MCD) in subjects with signs and symptoms of ischemia but without obstructive coronary artery disease(CAD). In patients with MCD, abnormalities of myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) occur globally but may also vary in their transmural extent. Thus, high spatial resolution quantitative CMR perfusi...

BACKGROUND Preliminary semi-quantitative cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) perfusion studies have demonstrated reduced myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) in patients with angina and risk factors for microvascular disease (MVD), however fully quantitative CMR has not been studied. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether fully quantitative CMR identifies reduced MPR in this populat...

Introduction: The relationship between depression and coronary artery disease is well established; however assessment of this relationship using functional and semi-quantitative imaging (myocardial perfusion scintigraphy) was lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the severity of depression and the severity of myocardial perfusion abno...

Introduction: It is recommended that the physician apply at least a semi-quantitative segmental scoring system in myocardial perfusion SPECT. We aimed to assess the agreement between automated semi-quantitative analysis using QPS (quantitative Perfusion SPECT) software and visual approach for calculation of summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS) and summed difference score (SDS). ...
متن کاملRelationship between Baseline ECG Abnormalities and Quantitative Perfusion Parameters of Myocardial Perfusion Findings
Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the major causes of mortality in most countries. Electrocardiography (ECG) and myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) are non-invasive disgnostic tests for CAD. Finding a relationship between abnormal findings in the baseline ECG and MPI findings can be helpful in better diagnosis of CAD. Materials and Methods: The present study examined ECG of pa...
